Au no exorcist came off really good, better than I expected, im surprise I didn't watch it sooner, it had good character, lots of action,, I like the story, but as the end slowly approached I expected more, but overall the series was pretty good.....

B+ I'd say. Blue Exorcist started off super strong. When you started to get closer and closer to the end, where many shows would pick up, Blue Exorcist kind of dimmed down though. But for the most part I absolutely loved this show. Good characters and good action!!!!

Blue Exorcist introduces its world with a pilot packed with thrilling suspense incurring curiosity and excitement in the viewers. Although its title may suggest a hint of play on religion, it is surprisingly without religious mythology, folklore, etc. In addition, when the climax builds and the story becomes more action and less plot, it certainly does not fail to deliver. Blue Exorcist was a ...

Blue Exorcist introduces its world with a pilot packed with thrilling suspense incurring curiosity and excitement in the viewers. Although its title may suggest a hint of play on religion, it is surprisingly without religious mythology, folklore, etc. In addition, when the climax builds and the story becomes more action and less plot, it certainly does not fail to deliver. Blue Exorcist was a fantastic show... until it crashed and burned after the first half. The ending to this story is non linear without a true conclusion (what's more confusing than a statement that lacks conclusion? watch Blue Exorcist). In the beginning, the story was clear and the journey was understood until the end where the creators start bringing up contradicting and questionable implications (not to mention beliefs). All in all, as an objective viewer, this show was fantastic at first, but terrible in the end (where all of the pros become cons in the latter half of the show).

i want more can't seem to get enough its breath taking and cool
i just need more seeing these young japanese characters
doing wonderful stuff and keeping good in check
you would never see this in the usa its too good
and thats saying alot being from the usa i hope to see more anima

This anime has quickly become one of my favorites! The story is great and the characters are fantastic!!! It really sets up the story and develops the characters making you feel connected to them. It has plenty of action along with a good dialogue! Rin is such a cool character! :3

For the first time watching this i thought that it looked pretty interesting. as the show went on i got enveloped into the story with the characters. Also the work and art put into the show was quite fitting to that of which you would expect from an show about slaying demons and such. All in all i say that this is an awesome anime and everyone should watch it if they have time

Although it has been over a year since I've watched this anime, I loved it. Thinking back on it, I still love it. It was like torture waiting each week for a new episode to come out. I love Rin and cannot get enough of his character. Although I enjoyed all the characters. It's an anime I wouldn't mind watching more than once.

I came into this very skeptical. Let me tell you. I am no skeptic anymore. This went far above and beyond my expectations. This show was absolutely amazing. I loved every minute of it. Its sad to see it end. It had a great OST and the voice acting was phenomenal. Lots of tear jerkers. Lots of fun. And lots to keep you on your feet. Be prepared to have the pedal to the medal. I wish I could go back ...

General Thoughts: Blue Exorcist is an interesting anime. It is definitely a shounen anime, and it has many of the clichés associated with the genre, however, if you are not annoyed by that, it is a good series.

General Thoughts: Blue Exorcist is an interesting anime. It is definitely a shounen anime, and it has many of the clichés associated with the genre, however, if you are not annoyed by that, it is a good series. Not great or amazing, but enjoyable.Story: The series starts out following the manga fairly well. Rin discovers that he is the son of Satan and witnesses the death of his foster father: Shiro Fujimoto. I really like how the series portrays Fugimoto's death and the repercussions that occur throughout the series. The series is predictable, but it has a certain charm to it that keeps pulling me back to the series even though I have watched it three times since it aired. I will note that the ending left much to be desired. Even with the movie following the end of the series, the series ended on a read-the-manga ending much like Air Gear and Berserk, and I do not like endings such as this because I feel that the anime and manga should be able to be seen separately as they are separate mediums to tell the story.Characters:The characters are fairly flat and one-dimensional, but they do fit in the series and help guide the plot along. The main reason they fit is because, for a series like this, they don't need to be deep. They only need to fill their various roles so that the viewer can focus on the Orimura brothers and the situation that they are in for each episode.Voices: Aside from the casting of Kirk Thorton as Father Fujimoto, I did not like the English dub by Aniplex. I thought that Bryce Papenbrook was miscast as Rin. Aniplex seems to want to put him into every shonen anime they get lately and it is because of this that I prefer to watch the series subtitled.Sound: The OST is not anything special. The only two tracks worth mentioning are the openings for the show, and even then, I would not listen to them separately from watching the series. But I do give it a pass, because, like the characters, they fill their roles nicely.

A hodgepodge of recycled themes and ideas. Quickly degrades into a supernatural "omg we're in high-school" anime. Animation quality is stagnant and character/demon design boring and thoughtless. Maybe a good anime for tweens, but not for adults or real fans.
